BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCES

• To make the most of your new appliances read the users instructions carefully and keep them on hand for consultation in the future.
• Remove the cardboard protections and the protective plastic film.
• Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it at 200°C for about an hour to eliminate the smell of protective grease and insulating materials. Keep the window open during this procedure.

N.B.: The cooling fan runs continuously at different speeds according to the temperature value of the components when the cooktop or the oven are in use.

Full speed: when the components are hot. Reduced speed (on/off mode): when the components are not hot.

The on/off mode must be considered the normal mode when the fan is at reduced speed. The fan may continue to run for the time necessary to ensure sufficient cooling of the components and adjacent kitchen units after the appliances have been switched off.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

• The packaging material is 100% recyclable and it is marked with the recycle symbol (△).

2. Appliances

- The appliances are built from recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the appliances please observe local waste disposal regulations. When you scrap them, cut off the power cords so that the appliances cannot be connected to the mains.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Before any maintenance on the appliances disconnect them from the power supply.
• Keep children away from the appliances when they are in use.
• The oven must be repaired or adjusted only by a qualified technician.
• Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical appliances near the oven do not come into contact with hot parts and do not become entrapped in the oven door.
• During the cooking process, water evaporates from food. All ovens require this steam and other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have determined that an opening at the bottom of the door is the optimum solution.
  Consequently, vapour may be seen to be coming from this area on occasions (see picture). This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of the door as described on page 23.
• Heavy weights must not be placed on the open door as this may result in damage to the cavity and hinges. Max weight: 7 kg (15lbs).

Fumes Exhaust

Oven

• Never stand or sit on the oven open door. Never hang any weight at the handle of the oven door when open.
• Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and accessories when the oven is hot.
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil.
• Do not place inflammable material in the oven - risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switched on.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Conventional electric / glass-ceramic cooktop

• Do not switch on the hotplates / cooking areas when there is no pan in position.
• The cooktop features hotplates/cooking areas of different size. Use pans whose base diameter is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the hotplate/cooking zone.
• Use flat-bottomed pans. The use of pans with concave or convex bottoms is not recommended.
• Do not use the cooktop as a work or support surface.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when frying food -risk of fire.

Specific recommendations for glass-ceramic cooktops

• When using the Fast Boiling function, use stainless steel pans with double bottom only.
• If the glass-ceramic surface should break or crack due to violent impact (falling objects, etc.) do not use it and call After Sales Service immediately.
• Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil, plastic containers or cloths on the hot cooking zones.
• Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic surface - risk of scratches.
• If the cooktop is fitted with halogen lamps, do not stare at them when they are switched on.
• Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on the cooktop. Should this happen, clean the cooktop carefully following the care and maintenance instructions in this handbook.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly larger.
  • Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
• If possible, keep the pots covered when cooking.
  • Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in order to cut down on cooking time.
  • A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and time.
